Hulk Hogan’s cause of death has been revealed, a week after his death.
The WWE legend, 71, died July 24 from an acute myocardial infarction, most commonly known as a heart attack, according to medical records from the Pinellas County Forensic Science Center, obtained by Page Six. An acute myocardial infarction happens when blood flow to one’s heart is blocked.
Before the heart attack, Hogan had a history of atrial fibrillation (also known as Afib or AF), a heart rhythm disorder where the chambers of the heart beat irregularly or rapidly.
The medical records also revealed that before his death, Hogan had chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), a type of cancer that affects the white blood cells.
However, Hogan’s history with leukemia was not previously known.
